NB: Some of the links are affiliate coded, so if you use them, we may earn a commission – and if you don’t use them, that’s totally cool, … Continue reading Gift Guide 2019: We Love Our Selves, And Our Pets →
For this week’s 2019 SBTB Gift Guide, I’m collecting different tech tools and items I use almost every day, and some that make my life (or other people’s) a little easier. I’ve featured some of these before, and they’re among my most favorite things to give to other people, especially for grab bag or random gifting where I don’t know the recipient very well. Let’s get started! NB: Some of the links are affiliate coded, … Continue reading Gift Guide 2019: Tech, Both Fun and Useful →
Earlier this year, I talked about a few items from my Etsy wishlist. Some things were crafty, some were pretty, and one was especially weird. Well, I’m back with that same energy! Is there a theme here? Definitely not. Just things I’ve stumbled across on Etsy that I would very much love to have if space and money were limitless. NB: Some of the links are affiliate coded, so if you use them, we may … Continue reading 2019 Gift Guide: More Etsy Wishlist Weirdness →
It’s Gift Guide time! I should probably file these under “Hide Your Wallet” because they’re dangerous temptations to me as I compile them. We’ve all been doing a little shopping, and we’ve got a new collection of beautiful, clever, and pretty ideas for you! NB: Some of the links are affiliate coded, so if you use them, we may earn a commission – and if you don’t use them, that’s totally cool, too. Shana: I … Continue reading Gift Guide 2019: All the Pretty Things! →
The review team here at the SBTB Pink Palace is ready to help you find the perfect holiday game for gifting, getting, or ganging up on relatives. Ready, set, play! Claudia: I have two absolutely awesome favorites – even for me, and I’m not much of a game person in general. Carcassonne is a great one for all ages, and can be played as simply or be as complicated as you’d want. If the gift … Continue reading Gift Guide 2019: Game On! →
It’s time, it’s time! Yes, Halloween isn’t until tomorrow, but I typically post the Gift Guides on Wednesdays, so we’re starting a day early this year. Hooray! In each Smart Bitches Gift Guide, I post links to different items that we love, or find useful, or give as gifts, or, really, just think you might like either as an item for your wish list or for your holiday shopping. Some of the links are affiliate … Continue reading Gift Guide 2019: Happy Shopping, Everybody! →
I read CrossStitcher magazine every month via my local library’s digital subscription through RBDigital (and if you’d like to learn how to do that, I wrote a whole article about it – enjoy!) and this last month there was a really, really tempting sampler for Halloween on the cover: I wish I could link to the pattern itself, but it’s inside the magazine. And it’s adorable! It tempted me to go looking for other fall patterns … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Seasonal Cross Stitching, Anyone? →
It’s time for another Stuff We Like, where we share, well, stuff that we like and find useful that might help you out, too! In this edition, I’m perusing items that help us upgrade our habits. One example: I am personally trying to create less trash. Can I reuse something, or wash it, or not buy an item knowing that after it’s used I’ll throw it away? Can I create less waste? Probably, in most … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Upgrading Our Habits →
Last month, Sarah post some great bookish items and jewelry from her Etsy wishlist. I immediately sent her a message about how vastly different our wishlist items are. There is no method to my madness when it comes to saving things. I’ve got plushie moths, Dolly Parton artwork, and vintage plates that have been decorated with images of David Bowie. Sometimes the internet is great. Here are a handful of items from my very own … Continue reading My Weird and Wonderful Wishlist →
Time for another collection of Stuff We Like, and this month, well, I’m getting a heckin’ big winter storm with snow and freezing rain and ice (?!) so all I can think about is Not Being Cold. First, a few suggestions for when you have to go outside (UGH). Base layers! I wear them when I snowboard, but I also wear them when I’m going to walk the dogs. One extra thin layer can make … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Being Warm →
This month’s Stuff We Like is all about smaller, inexpensive treats we can give ourselves, especially our hands and feet. It’s winter here (whoa boy, is it ever) and my hands are constantly dry. My cuticles are trying to remove themselves entirely and head for warmer locations, and keeping my hands from feeling like sandpaper is like a part time job. I know everyone has a hand cream they swear by, and I would love … Continue reading Stuff We Like: Giving Your Hands a Gift →
